I noticed recently some muscles i didnt know i had.. I'm not sure if they're growing, or if I just simply hadnt noticed them before, but when i flex I notice parts are feeling more firmer.. Maybe I'm just being more aware about my body that I'm noticeing these things..

today was upperbody workouts..
I like shoulder presses, they're so difficult for some reason it makes me burst with joy..

ive been slackin a bit lately due to some business im trying to start up, but im trying to get back into a groove..

I'm under the impression that you should have sore muscles after you work out. Is this true? cuz today I did 60 standing shoulderpresses until i got tired, and I was expecting to be sore, but I wasn't. Did I not push myself hard enough?

Just a question,
The 10 sets on 1 exercise is an interesting approach, What are you looking to gain from doing them?

i found the '10set' approach easy to focus with as I pick a initial starting rep number and work towards 0. This way I have a solid goal in which I can reach and all I have to think about is getting there.

lately I've just been trying to move more and more weight around, trying to beat me last attempts and basically stopping once I surpass them. This way is easy because I don't have to necessarly stick to one thing but rather what I feel I can handle at a given time in order to up the total weight moved. In this approach my thinking is that if I keep beating my previous scores I will keep increasing the amount of work I output, and hence the body would require growth in order to keep up with the increaseing amount of work being done.

Of course, I don't know if itll work, but at this point I'm mostly experimenting to see what works, but at the same time trying to find somethign in which I enjoy.

I'm sure that other forum members have thoughts about this, and I don't claim to be an expert, but here are some of my thoughts.

1. Setting a goals in a workout is a good approach.

2. Doing so many sets of one isolation type exercise, risks over working the muscle and is probably not good for muscle growth. It would probably be more likely to build lactic acid tolerance and endurance into the muscles.

3. Mulitple sets of a couple of compound exercises a couple of times a week, plus a couple of sets on arms etc, plus eating well and getting plenty of rest is probably more likely to encourage muscle growth.

Anyway, I look forward to seeing your results... Train hard
